Barcelona is looking for a striker to alleviate the team’s lack of pressing goal, among other problems. The forced withdrawal of Kun Agüero and the injuries that leave Ansu Fati or Dembélé out make the reinforcement of the front a priority for this winter market at Can Barça.
With Cavani as the first option, the complicated situation of Arsenal has opened a new path: that of Aubameyang. The Gabonese is in trouble with the Gunners. He has gone from being the team captain to Arteta taking him away from the club’s daily routine after being late last week from a trip to France.
The striker has been stripped of the bracelet, trains alone and has already accumulated several absences in different calls for matches. Given the discomfort for both parties given the situation, the club has considered that the best way out for this will be a loan until the end of the season. There, you will be free and you can sign for whoever you want.
This scenario is seen as appealing from Barcelona, which, according to the Daily Mail, is interested in welcoming the Gabonese in this period to lead its attack. They point out that, given Barcelona’s economic situation, his salary (€ 10.9 million per year) could be an obstacle to ending the incorporation. From Italy they assure that Juve will compete since it is also looking for a forward.
Confirmed in Dortmund, down in London
Although the impact since his arrival (14 games, 10 goals) was good and also his first two seasons (31 and 30 goals between all competitions), Aubameyang accumulates two seasons in which his records have dropped significantly.
Last season he signed just 14 goals, playing a good number of minutes (2908) and this, now marked, by disciplinary problems were not registering figures in line with their averages of seasons ago with seven goals in 15 games.
